The Limitless Pregnancy

This week we are continuing the conversation about where to deliver baby with a focus on who to work with including an OB, a midwife and/or a doula.

This week we will be talking all about where to deliver! We will dive into the different options including hospital, birthing center and home birth.

Evelyn Mendal, Founder of Hatch and Bloom, joins us this week to talk about maternal identity and setting the stage for the mother-child relationship while pregnant.

In the second part of this episode we talk all about exercise while pregnant and into your fourth trimester. We cover what is safe, what's not safe, and trusting yourself and your body. As a lot of physical changes are happening, so should your workout plans, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to be physically active.

An extension to last weeks episode focused on what you can and can't eat and drink during pregnancy, this week we go even further and discuss skincare products, hot yoga, and so much more. Many of us are given a long list of what not to consume and do during pregnancy but how accurate is this list? Why do the rules change in the US vs Europe? We discuss the "why" and talk about our own experience on this topic. 

In today's episode we debate what you can and can't eat and drink during pregnancy. Sushi? A glass of wine? A turkey sandwich?

We discuss the "why" and talk about our own experience on this topic. This is a fun one - enjoy!

Part 2 coming next week!

In our first episode of The Limitless Pregnancy, we felt it was most relevant for us to talk about life right now during the time of a global pandemic. We dive into what it means to be pregnant in quarantine, how Covid-19 could and could not impact you and your unborn baby, the "typical" events during pregnancy that are now cancelled or being done in a new creative way, and what your new birthing options are. Kimberly shares her experience at 7 months changing her birth plan from a hospital to a birthing center.
